Damn, this probably puts the UGA v. Texas A&M game at night, right? Is this our max for CBS? I thought that was a lock for 3:30 because of the rare-ness of the matchup.
Competition for that day are only Arkansas/LSU or Tennessee/Missouri. Tough to see how UGA/A&M isn’t the choice regardless of outcome of last Saturday, this Saturday, the Saturday after that, or really any of the games of the season leading up to it. Terrible slate of games
It will probably be on ABC or one of the ESPNs. What helps is that it’s Thanksgiving weekend, and a good number of big rivalry games get played on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. That opens up more slots on Saturday. So we probably don’t get banished. We’ll be on ESPN2 at worst.
Oh, and what also really helps is that while Tech is one of the teams playing, the other is us. And we bring eyes to the TV, if for no other reason than just our own fans.
I was hoping for a nooner on the plains, but 2:30 local time is still pretty good, too. I’m glad it’s not a 6 pm or later kick. That would be brutal in that madhouse.
They have electricity now? Damn. Eleven AM would be preferable but anytime but night on the road in the SEC. Conference officials should be put on notice about that piped in music before the snap of visiting teams. That isn’t hard to enforce, they did it every play before the snap last time we were there. Rules never get much much respect with Barners.
As others note above, it’s hard to think we’re not the 3:30 game that week, too. Maybe if Missouri beats us and Tennessee wins out? We just need to kick the shit out of Mizzou and nail this thing down.
Someone venture forth an answer as to why Jordan Hare was more than half empty against Ole Miss Saturday night. It was cold, but so what? It’s usually cold in November….the game wasn’t a “gimme” for AU either..not decided until the last play. (Plumlee is very good, btw). Was it because the Mississippi people didn’t travel? Would that make that much difference? If Auburn fans are cool towards their team, it might be another opportunity for UGA fans to out-crowd a home team.

It shouldn’t be. You can’t be on CBS more than 5 times, and from my count this game will be number 3.

Yeah. We’re probably go to end the season 7, 3:30, 3:30, noon.

Is the Tech game going to be banished to the ACC Network? If so, that will really suck. First game I’ve been unable to watch in several years.

It should still be 3:30. From my count, Auburn is the third CBS game for the year and the max is five.

Looking at the next week schedule, the best game on will be UGA-TXA&M. Wonder if CBS would have UGA on twice in a row?
